Research of form creation effectiveness in the extracurricular work at school

The intensive school education reform urges to improve effectiveness in both the teaching-educational process on the whole and extracurricular activities (one of its important constituents) in the pedagogically appropriate forms. That is why our research is up to date and important. We made a research on the problem of pedagogical form. The analysis of the theoretical literature let us come to the conclusion that the pedagogical form is being discussed among many scientists and school books authors, but they still have not come to the consensus. Our understanding and definition of the pedagogical form is given in the context of the pedagogical mutual activity. We consider the pedagogical form as the means of functions distribution among the participants of mutual activity (G.N. Prozumentova). We discuss the question of the pedagogical form formation. General genesis of the conditions of their formation in the out-of-class space is presented in the domestic scholars' manuscripts and papers. G.N. Prozumentova thinks that if the forms creation is analyzed in the pedagogical practice during the process of goal formation, then the subject's goals of this practice, their definition, retrieval and production cause the form to appear. We researched the process of creation, implementation and development of pedagogical forms in the extracurricular educational school space in Sayanogorsk. Practice shows that this process goes most effectively in ''free zones'', which appear in the extracurricular space of a school, and subjective views are developed by both teachers and pupils as they are subjects of mutual activity. At the first stage of our research we conducted some problem stating workshops with the teachers of different categories, where we discussed and analyzed school educational practice in the town, and set the problems. We analyzed different pedagogical practices for changing the quality and forms of extracurricular work. Then we tried and approved such a form of the extracurricular work as camps where teachers could use the form of the collective creative work with pupils (CCW). It is an unusual extracurricular work model for the town - the model of mutual activity. The second stage of our experiment carried out in the camps showed multirole and polyfunctional character of compatibility: the change of the forms of interaction - from teacher-pupil cooperation according to the type ''director-subordinate'' to the type ''partner-partner''. During the experiment we defined and phrased the indexes which we used to measure the form creation effectiveness. We think that the result of our experiment is the change of the teachers' professional conception about the pedagogical form, which demonstrates the development of teachers' pedagogical thinking culture. We stated that the process of form formation influences the change in the quality of goals carried out by teachers during the extracurricular work. The hypothesis that the participation in the pedagogical form creation assists the subjective child's attitude coming into being is proved. The analysis of the empiric data lets us state that the immediate participation in the new forms creation ''educates'' pupils as fully functioning subjects of the mutual work. This is one of the strategic lines in the organization of the educational process in a modern school.
